The 14th Annual Terry Fox Run will take place near the Crescent Plaza in District 7 on Sunday Nov. 28.
People should arrive at 7am for pre-run activities. The run will start at 8am.
The Terry Fox Run is a fun-filled family event. Everyone can participate in this 5km, non-competitive run/walk and join in the party and picnic afterwards. The Ten Dollar Bill Band will be there to stir things up and get people dancing and singing.
All proceeds of the event are contributed to cancer research. Last year in Ho Chi Minh City, more than 7,500 people registered for the run and raised VND730 million. The Terry Fox Run was named in honour of Canadian amputee runner who at 21, attempted to run across Canada for cancer research.
The run in Vietnam is organised by the Consulate General of Canada, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian International School, with support from the Canadian business community, schools and universities and friends of Canada in Ho Chi Minh City.
